Book Description
Vachel Lindsay's 'The Chinese Nightingale, and Other Poems' is a collection of enchanting verses that delve into themes of exoticism, spirituality, and nature. Lindsay's lyrical style, reminiscent of the 19th-century romantic poets, creates a vivid and rich tapestry of imagery that transports readers to far-off lands and mystical realms. This book is a prime example of early 20th-century American poetry, influenced by Orientalism and the pursuit of beauty in the midst of industrialization. Vachel Lindsay, a noted poet and artist, was known for his unique use of rhythm and rhyme in his works. His fascination with Eastern cultures and folk traditions is evident in 'The Chinese Nightingale,' where he explores themes of cultural exchange and the allure of the exotic. Lindsay's background in art and performance also influenced his poetry, resulting in a visually arresting and emotionally resonant collection. I highly recommend 'The Chinese Nightingale, and Other Poems' to readers interested in exploring the intersection of Western and Eastern aesthetics, as well as those who appreciate the musicality and vivid imagery of traditional poetry. Lindsay's work is a testament to the enduring power of poetic expression and the universal themes that resonate across time and cultures.

Book Description
Hollywood has long exerted an international influence on the global imagination. In the first half of the 20th century, Chinese American actors who aspired to a career in Hollywood found their opportunities limited to roles that propagated Asian stereotypes. Meanwhile, many Chinese roles were given to non-Asian actors playing yellowface. It has been a long, hard road for Chinese in Hollywood who have striven to build meaningful careers behind and in front of the camera. This book focuses on the contributions of Chinese and Chinese Americans to the film and television industries as well as those who lived and worked in the Hollywood area. Vintage photographs celebrate pioneers such as Anna May Wong, Tyrus Wong, Milton Quon, James Wong Howe, and many more. From the silent film era to the present, the history of Chinese in Hollywood will surpass 100 years.

Convergence of East-West Poetics
Author: Zhanghui YangPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040098282
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
The present book examines William Carlos Williams’s negotiation with cultural modes and systems of the Chinese landscape tradition in his landscape writing. Focusing on Walliams’s landscape modes of landscape with(out) infused emotions, the book builds a linkage between their interactions with Chinese landscape aesthetics and shows how these conversations helped shape Williams’s cross-cultural landscape poetics. The exploration of Williams’s experiment with the Chinese serene interplay of self and landscape, the interfusion of scene and emotion, an idea of seeing from the perspective of Wang Guowei’s theory of jingjie, and the poetic space of frustration and completion in the context of space and human geography, expand the understanding of a cross-cultural landscape tradition developed by Williams through bringing into focus the convergence of East-West poetics.
